ABRIDGED PROSPECT US, ------- - - This Corporation has been formed for the purpose of uniting the ordinary business of a Finance Company with toat of an Estate Agency--a want not yet supplied by any of the existing Companies. The business of the Corporation will consist of two distinct branches —viz., Financial Transactions and Estate Agency Business, and competent representatives will be appointei in the principal towns. The Financial Department will consist of advancing money on real and personal estate, whether intended for sale or otherwise, and on such other securities as the Directors may approve. The Corporation will act also as agents between Mortgagors and mortgagees, and will negotiate subscriptions or loans for British and foreign undertakings, the bona fides of which w'll be strictly investigated before they are sub mitted to the public. The Estate Agency Department will embrace valuations ; the Purchase end sale of estates, lands, and houses; the Management of estates, and the carrying out of drainage and Other essential improvements ; also the sales of agricultural produce, farming stock, and every description of properties, by private contract and public auction ; and it is intended to hold periodical sales of freehold and leasehold properties. Several lucrative transactions have already been secured by the Corporation ; and although the Directors consider the present nominal capital ample for all immediate purposes, power has been taken to increase the same should it be ultimately deemed desirable. By the Articles of Association (which lie for inspection at the Temporary Offices of the Company), each Director Is required to hold 2JO snares; and more than 2,C00 shares have already been subscribed for by the Directors and their friends. Prost ectuses and forms of applicati , in for shares may be obtained from the Banters and Brokers, or at the Temporary (Ann a of the Company.

At 5 33 Marina shifted balloon r foresail for a smaller one, and at 540 shifted square-headed for jib-headed topsail, and at 5 43 passed Volante to leeward. They were soon beam and beam, and the South Foreland was passed by Marina at 67, Volante, at 6 10. Blue Bell, two miles astern to leeward, took in her topsail, Madcap two miles astern of her, and the rest out of sight. At 6 25, off Dover Castle, the main sheet strap of Marina's boom gave way, and she lay to to repair. This considerably threw her to leeward, and prevented her from raising the mainsheet during the remainder of the race ; 30 minutes lost. Volante enabled to make aboard to windward and take second place, Blue Bell came up at 7 p.m , about 11 mile astern. Madcap now took the fourth place, Blue Bell 5, Vindex 6, 2 miles astern, wind and tide against them ; and at 7 25 the position of the yachts was as follows : Galatea first, 7 miles ahead, Volante 2, Madcap 3 (still with two jib-headed topsails) goin g unmistakeably well, Marina 4, Blue Bell 5, Vindex 6, Medea 7, just in sight. Volante now began to go ahead again, and at 8 10 the positions of the fleet were as follows : - -Galatea 1, Volante 2, Madcap 3, Marina 4, Blue Bell 5, Vind ex 6, wind W. and mode rate, cutters working unde r ma i n an d f oresa il s , jib, jib headed topsails, and at 834 stoo d i n f or l an d. At 838 sighted Dungeness Light, bearing W,S.W. on starboard bow, wind becoming light and sun down, Madcap standing in, Volante 2, Vindex, two miles astern of Marina, standing in on her lee quarter, Blue Bell ditto, a mile astern, Medea and Night Thought out of sight. At 9 5 Manna was standing out off Sandgate, and Blue Bell stand hag in shore, miles astern —moonlight. At 11 10 Marina came up to a fleet of about 200 vessels at anchor under the Naas, waiting for a fair tide to the westward, and passed Dungeness at 11 30 on starboard hand, wind W.N.W., and an hour and a half flood left. Could discern by the bright moonlight Volante half a mile ahead and standing out; Ga latea second, standing in ; Madcap third, having just made a board inwards; Vindex five miles astern. It was now midnight. Marina stood out, wind W.N.W., and at 12 5 stood in, wind freshening. Sounded lead 54 fathoms. At 12 14 Marina tacked again, Madcap and Galatea half a mile ahead standing in to land ; wind dead ahead and the Vo lante leading. At 143 the Marina (off Fairlight) passed the Galatea to leeward. The lights of Hastings and St Leonard's opened out in the distance. Fine topsail breeze, with bright moon, At 155 Galatea stood in for land on the port tack, Marina followed suit at 1 58, about 150 yards to windward. A dashing rain and a heavy sea getting up. Ebb tide strong. At 3 5 Marina on the port tack standing in for St Leonard's, Volante two miles a head of her on the same tack ; Madcap second, a mile and a half head, on the starboard tack ; Ga latea fourth, a mile astern on port quarter. Beachy Head was sighted at 3 30 a.m., hazy, and at 5 10 Volante stood in on the port tack and looking splendid—clear blue sky, sun shining brightly, and a heavy sea on —Marina half a mile astern of her, Galatea astern of Marina, and Vindex behind Galatea two miles ; Madcap further out in the Channel, making a long board to the French coast, wind N.W. At 6 5 the Marina passed Beachy Head on the starboard tack, Volante a mile ahead on the same tack, Madcap on her lee bow, hull down; Galatea on her lee beam, three miles astern, standing off on a long board towards the French coast; Yin dex two miles astern of the Galatea ; no others in sight. Tide strong, two hours' flood. From 730t0 8 30 a,m. the Marina and Volante were standing in and out, tack for tack, Y Head Lighthouse, and olante about a mile head, a w l h o n e n g ot h ff e t shore, h e c n a s p t g a s u s a e r d d t s h t e a ti Beach nv Wind and tide against them, with heavy rolling swell in shore, the gutta percha vigorously at work on the canvas of both yachts, the Vindex seven miles astern, and the schooner somewhere to leeward out of sight. Splendid weather, with a fair topsail breeze, At 9 a.m. the Marina passed Seaford, and at 9 17 rounded the red buoy at the entrance to the port of Newhaven, course W.N.W., wind due W., tide about an hour to high water. At 918 Marina stood out on the starboard tack, Volante ditto about a mile to windward, with a tumbling sea, At 11 4 Brighton Pier was passed on the port tack, Marina standing away past Shoreham, Volante two miles ahead, and Vindex six miles astern. No others in sight. After passing Shoreham Marina stood out for the land on the starboard tack and took in a reef of the mainsail, the wind increasing, with a lump of sea, Madcap leading, Galatea second. At 1 p.m. passed Worthing, and stood out on the starboard tack ; and 1 15 it appeared that the topsail sheets of the Vindex had given way, and she took in topsail. At 12 50 a schooner (the Albatross) hove in sight five or six miles to windward, weather thick. At 150 Yin- i dex set her topsail afresh. Volante now led by a mile and a half, Marina second, Vindex third, four miles astern. Wind had now veered to S. of W., course W.N.W. Bog nor sighted on starboard b2ara at 1 45. At 330 Volante tacked for the Overs Channel and appeared to hold a good wind. The Nat, I;slit and Doan T.;l }.any were her at 5 40, by Marina at 6 6, wind and tide dead against them, Vindex coming up four miles astern, steering N.W. Volante passed the light ship at Warner a', 6 20 p.m., Marina at 6 45 p.m., and. both arrived, after a most excit. ins , race, within a cable's length of Ryde Pier.

The Railways ' and the Post-Office, The Government has just besto we d on Si r Row land Hill a substantial acknowledgment of hi s ser vices in improving the ph ostal system of t hi s country, in the shape of a grant of £20,000, in addition to his retiring pension. Whatever may be Sir Row land's title to be deemed an inventor, he has un doubtedly distinguished himself as a zealous and enterprising administrator, an I no one will grudge him the reward he has ree, , eived. At the same time it is but fair to recollect .how much the postal ser vice has been dependent on the railways. The penny post could never lat‘ve been carried out by the old mail coach. It wao the locomotive which made it possible, and it was Sir Rowland Hill's good fortune that the commencement of the new scheme and the development of the railway system were contemporaneous. He started„ as it were, with a rising tide, and it was to that as much as to any skilful steering or tacking on his part that ho owed his success. It might have been expected, there. fore, that there would be a friendly feeling at St. Martin's-le-Grand towards the railway companies, and that they would be treated, if not with favour, at any rate with justice and reason able consideration. Notoriously, however, the very reverse has been, and, we regret to say, is still the case. Whether it is that, the managers have never ceased t o lament their for mer splendour, and cannot forgive the rival who drove from the road the mail-coaches, with their spanking steeds and royal liveried guard—" grand and awful-looking in all the composure of a con scious superiority ;" or whether it; is only that they have been eager to pinch and pare the expenditure so that they may boast of a large revenue, we can. not tell ; yet certain it is that from the very first the Post Office has manifested a most illiberal spirit to. wards the railways. At the outset it tried to ig nore them, and when at length compelled to accept their aid, it took care to impose hard and ungracious conditions. Last week, in speaking of the Irish mails, we showed how shabbily the London and North-Western, or perhaps we should r ether say the Ciiester and Holyhead, were used; and that is only one instance of the way in which the Post Office deals generally with the companies whom it em ploys. It is now some fifteen years since a committee of the House of Commons was appoit tted to consider how the services of the railway companies could be secured to the Post Office. The result was a re commendation that commissioners should be ap pointed to arbitrate on this subject between the department and the companies. In the debate which followed the presentation of the report to the house, Sir James Graham proposed that the arbitrators should be instructed, in making their award, to take into consideration the cost of the construc tion of the line in question. Lord Taunton, then Mr Labouchere, and President of the Board of Trade, insisted on the arbitrators being left wholly free, but gave a pledge on behalf of the Govern.. ment that no attempt would be made to exclude the cost of construction from consideration. Upon this the amendment was withdrawn. There seems at this time to have been, and perhaps there still lingers, a feeling on the part of Parliament that the railways have got their bills too cheaply, and that more might have been squeezed out of them when they were clients at the bar, and altogether at the mercy of the two houses. " They ought to have foreseen," said Sir R. Peel, " that if the railroads were successful, other modes of internal communi cation would almost necessarily fall into disuse, and they ought therefore to have stipulated, as it would nave been perfcctly just and easy for them to have done, that certain public services should be per. formed at a reasooable rate." We admit the case, but we question the justice with which such stipu lations could have been forced on the helpless appli cants for parliamentary powers. We see no more reason shy railway cowponies should be compelled to do work for next to nothing in order to swell the revenue of a Government department, making a large annual profit, than why shp'builders should supply men-of-war, or ordnance mann • facturers guns on similar terms. A railway com pany, it seems to us, has as good a right to make a profit if it can out of the Government as out of a n y other customer. The Duke of Argyle, howe ver , seems to have thought otherwise. In 1856 he i n . troduced House nto re t a h l e wereof L and exclusivelyregulating the conveyance of the mails by ra il way, h w postal purposes : there were to be fi nes f or every little hitch in the working, and a lth oug h a pre tence was made of making a" full a ll owance f or profit," it is clear that the principle laid d own was that the remuneration was to be " based on t h e actual cost of running the trains," Parliament h as never had any scruples about " taking it out o f" the railway when it got a chance; but we are not surprised that the duke's bill was found to be ly a bill of painsrd Lords set penalties. apart measure for pa rt for Certain hc trains as rather too strong, and disappeared, never to be renewed. Mr. Lewins, in his very able and interesting work on " Her Majesty's Mails," touches on this ques tion ; but he looks at it through official, and, there fore, discoloured glasses. He owns, of course, that the gain to the Post-office through railways is enormous, The mails are not only carried more rapidly, but facilities are given for sorting them on the journey. " But here," says Mr. Lewins, " the gain ends ; and the cost of the service really done is beyond all proportion. The cost of carrying mails by coaches averaged 21d. per mile; the average cost of railways is 10d. a mile, some railways charging nearly five shillings per mile for the service they render." We are not quite sure of the accuracy of these figures; but even accepting them, they involve a fallacy which we are astonished so acute a writer did not perceive. Mr. Lewins overlooks entirely the fact that a train carries twenty, forty, nay, in some cases, even a hundredfold more letters than one of the old mail coaches. On the main trunk lines, such as the North- Western, in addition to the saloon carriage called the travelling post-office, several vans are attached to hold the bags. A quarter of a century since the aggregate weight of the evening mails despatched from London in twenty-eight mail coaches was only 4 tons 6cwt., or an average of 41 cwt. per coach. Which is cheaper, a mail coach at 21d, per mile carrying that insignificant burden, or a mail train of our day carrying its ton upon ton of letters with punctuality and despatch ? Why there is no com parison between the two things. Again, Mr Lewins , o B a t t of l r ; g d u . n p n e i rn mile,a tr a i a n n d m t ay hu b s e t r h e e c k p o o n s e t! said cou stantly paying at the rate of from 60 to 300 d use of a fraction of a train, may be so p ianffi e y r nies c e e s n ';o t Tr . c i aht n sehe e ecs xcess of the whole cost of the running." Here lurks another fallacy. In busi ness the l oss on any transaction must be measured not by the cost price, but by the market value. Rails and plant have a very limited life, which every journey shortens; and, consequently, the loss on each mail train must be calculated not by the cost of run n i ng, but by the difference between the amount paid an d that which might be gained by a regular passenger train. Fifteen pence per mile may be the ordinary working expenses, but then it should be borne in mind that the average sarning is over ss. per train per mile. Mail trains, however, almost universally far exceed the ordinary working cost. The speed at which they travel involves a larger consumption of tuel and much greater wear and tear. The limited night mail between Euston-square and Perth,for ex ample, traverses the distance of 4M miles in 11 hours and a half, or about forty miles an hour, including stoppages. In that and other cases the number of passenger carriages allowed to be at tached to the train is restricted. At present eight mail trains are run on the main-line of the North Western, each conveying post office carriages and staff, and, of these, half are run specially, the num of passengers being limited. When these circum- - PRICE... —...4d. STAMPED'....Sd. ' stances are borne in mind, the grant of £82,416 to that company for the conveyance of the mails ap pears by no means excessive, although, no doubt, a large sum. The conditions under which a mail train has to be run are usually so stringent and exacting that they entail heavy outlay on the company which runs it, and in arbitration not only the working expenses but the cost of constructing the line and the rate of its earnings ought to be taken into account. Another objectionable feature in the present sys tem is that while arbitration is pending the com pany has to do the work without receiving any■ thing on account. At this moment, we believe, this is the case with several of the Scotch lines. The grossest piece of injustice, however, is the direct competition whieh the Post -office engages with the railway companies in the transmission of parcels. Of late years this branch of business has been gra dually extended, and is manifestly unfair, for the railways are thus made to carry over and above the legitimate objects of postal delivery, a description of traffic intercepted from themselves without any additional payment. We cannot help thinking that the arrangement most equitable for both parties, and most beneficial to the public, would be to give the railways a pecuniary interest in the de• velopment of the postal traffic.—.

IThis race, emanating from several influential yachtsmen at the Union Yacht Club House, Gravesend, came off on Saturday last, June 18th, and was started under the able management of Lord do Ros, vice-commodore of the R.T.Y.C., assisted by Capt. Tucker, R.N., the harbour master, and Capt. Grant, secretary R.T.Y.C.; the noble lord having kindly consented to arrange the start accord ing to the instructions of the ocean match to Harwich on the 4th. The vessels consequently took their stations in tiers of three, the cutters being lower down the river, and the schooners forming the upper division, anchored a little above the Union Yacht Club House. The following were entered, but the Amazon did not start : SCHOONERS. Station, Yacht. Tons. Owner. 4. Galatea Blue Bell 82 .... Mr Edwards 2. Madcap .. 7l Mr J. S. A. Dunbar 1. Medea 7O Mr W. J.

Y. C. house. It being high water about 114 a.m., it wos arranged by Lord de Ros that the vessels should start as nearly as possible at 11 30 a.m., and all to cast to the southward. The signal having been given at 11 29, the start was magnificent, the vessels having weighed anchor within a few seconds of one another ; wind W.N.W, strong and squally. Amidst the cheers of the spectators the Blue Bell, Marina, Vindex, and Volante were off together; Blue Bell and Marina being the smartest. The Madcap, Medea, and Galatea bringing up the rear.

PIUS IX:s PONTIFICATE. The circumstance of Pins IX. having just com pleted the eighteenth year of his pontifical reign is seized by the Monde as a fitting occasion for eulo gising the conduct of the Sovereign-Pontiff during that long period, and expressing unmixed exulta- tion at the progress which the Catholic Church has made in the world since the accession of the present Pope. But first the writer expatiates on the vas changes which have taken place since 1846 : _ " How many kings," he exclaims, " have fallen from their thrones like Louis Philippe ! How many powerful sovereigns have been humbled in their pride, like the Czar Nicholas ! How many revolutions and how many wars have taken place ! How little does the Europe of 1864 resemble that of 1846 ! The people have no longer the same insti- tutions ; the same ideas no longer prevail ; even the material world is transformed by the railways, the electric telegraph, and the almost total rebuilding of the most populous cities. Never in less time have been more overthrows and ruins accomplished ! And above those ruins, and all those astonishing changes, still stands the man whose accession was, as it were, the signal for so many agitations— the man whom God had destined to preside over that immense movement, to direct it in what it had of good, to restrain it in its exaggerations, and to point out, at least to those who would listen m his warnings, which was the right path, where lay the shoals to be avoided, and where the true remedy was to be found for the evils and errors which so readily increase in periods of disturbance and of transformation. Pius IX. has been faithful to his mission ; but the people, or rather those who guide them, have refused to listen to his voice. He has been accused of having returned towards the past, after having been the initiator of the future ; but the world would not see that he only condemned in the present what would compromise the interest of the future, and that he alone had the true doc trine of life, developing what already exists, but never beginning by destroying, because life does not issue out of death." The writer then affirms that the triumphs of the Church under Pius IX. have been most signal ; "Never was any assertion," he says, " more exact. A glance at the 18 years' Pontificate will prove it to bo so. Liberal and revolutionary hypo crisy overcome, the Catholic hierarchy re-established in England and in holland—numerous concordats concluded with the principal Powers—the Roman Liturgy restored in France—new dioceses created— now missions formed in heretic and pagan count ries— the intimate union of the Bishops with the Pope, of the priests with the Bishops, of the faithful with the clergy, with the episcopacy, and with the Holy Ste —the explanation of the Immaculation Conception received with the acclamations of the whole Catholic world—of late years, the most striking manifests• tions of devotedness to the Holy See, to that tem• poral power which is the necessary safeguard of the independence of our Spiritual Father—Peter's pence —the increase of good works of all kinds—the return of Protestants to the Church, and the testimonies rendered to Papacy and to Catholicism by statesmen and by the most distinguished writers. What triumphs in the midst of so much bitterness ! What victories in spite of so many treasons ! What hopes in the midst of so many causes of discouragement ! What moral force amidst the frightful weaknesses of our times ! This is what has been done by the indomitable energy of Pius IX., by his faith in the Divine promises, his piety towards the Virgin Mother of our Saviour Jesus Christ ; this, in a word, is what has been effected by the possession of the truth, and by the unflinching resolution to proclaim and support it, and to claim its rights under all cir cumstances, and against all its enemies." Asylum for Fatherless Children. The general meeting and midsummer election of this charity took place yesterday at the London Tavern, Alder man Lusk in the chair. The Rev. T. W. Aveling (the hon. sec.) read the report of the committee of management, which stated that the total receipts from May,1863, to May, 1861, amounted to £10,582 Is sd, which sum had been expended, with the exception of a balance of £323 fis 7d. Since the 15th May, £350 more had been paid off the building debt, reducing it to £10,450. The year now closed had not passed without one of those visitations of sickness to which children are exposed, and from which not the most unremitting care of the officers and house committee could possibly preserve them. Au epidemic common to childhood appeared three months ago, but through the blessing of the great Father of the family, the instant and constant attention of their friend Dr Rose' the senior physician to the charity, and the sleepless vigi lance and superintendence of all employed in the establish ment, it has passed without the loss of a single life. The health of the children at the present time was very good. Towards the close of 1863 a most generous and unexpected offer was made to the board by one of its oldest friends, to give the handsome sum of 1,900 guineas to the charity. This offer was coupled With a request that the further sum of 5,000 guineas should be raised, within two years, as a ape. dal effort, and the whole amount be applied to the reduction of the debt. Another generous friend weo desires to be anonymous, immediately offered 500 guineas towards the latter sum, and pledged himself to get a similar amount in addition, of which 100 guineas have been already obtained. Other friends responded to the appeal which the board at ,once put forth, to the amount of £1,280. Thus, since last year, the debt had been reduced by the sum of £3,805, leav ing now due £lO,BOO, towards which there are promises, extending over certain periods, to the amount of between £l,OOO and £l,lOO. Special contributions towards the debt were still earnestly solicited, as well as increased annual subscriptions and donations towards the current fund. This latter had not quite met the ordinary expenditure, although the annual subscriptions had increased by the sum of £100; but the board' had been encouraged, by the continued liberality of the public, to recei ve during the past year 30 instead of 20 children, the number formerly admitted. As the debt diminishes the board trust to be able to increase the number of admissions, and they hoped to see the build ing, capable of accommodating 300 inmates, completely filled. The present number of children was 186. On the motion of Mr DONNINGTON, seconded by Mr HARDEN, the report was adopted. A vote of thanks was passed to the treasurer, Baron L, Rothschild ; the sub .treasurer, Mr Harvey, the honorary secretary, the Rev Mr Aveling; and to the physician and other officers of the charity. The CitAIRMAN said the charity was in a very satisfac tory condition, and everything was prosperous. The children were in good health, and that being the case he should ask the friends of the charity for their support in order that the institution might be made the most prosper ous in the metropolis. A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the election of five girls, out of a list of 20 candidates, and 10 boys, out of a list of 54 candidates was proceeded with. 7 ,. 9 _ ,_ e ,gG - e - 4 . - r ''..‘-.'-.) 1%.1 vlArg 1P Cure of Deafness, At the last sitting of the Academy Flourens presented an application add_ _ld him by Dr. Turnbull, a Scotch physician, who prc posed to employ a method of his own on a certain determinate number of persons afflicted with want of hearing, and prayed the Academy to appoint a committee; first, to ascertain the state of the pa• tients before being submitted to the treatment in question, and next, to report at the end of a year what bad been the amount of SUCCES3 arrived at. Dr. Turnbull has explained his method to M. Flourens, and till likewise communicate it to the members of the committee. He has described it in a sealed paper deposited with the Academy, but wishes it not to be published until the expiration of a year. Tno Academy, considering the subjtct of immense importance to humanity, at once ap• poisted a committee composed of MM. Rearms, Milne-Edwards, and Bernard. The promptitude. with which this decision has been come to reflects great credit on the Academy. It appears that when Lord Brougham was lately in Parts, being anxious, as always, to forward any plan likely to prove useful to his fellow creatures, he gave Dr. Turnbull a letter of introduction to M. Mignet, and through him the matter was brought under consideration, and, appearing to the Academy to present every guarantee of success, was immediately disposed of, as stated above. It may not be irrelevant to state that Dr. Turnbull's name has been long know❑ in England and the United States as connected with extraordinary cures of deafness—not mere impediments in bearing, but deafness existing from the first moment of life. Some years back a paper appeared in Chambers' Edinburgh Journal giving an account of several extraordinary cures effected by the practitioner in question. After speaking of several cases of deaf and dumb persons successfully treated by the Turn bull method, the writer says : Let us first explain that the deafness of the class of per sons called deaf-mutes has hitherto been quite incurable. With respect to certain modifications; of deafness produced by cold, and other similar accidental means, there has long been a medical practice attended with some measure of success : for example, in London there is an institution willed the Royal Dispensary for Diseases of the Ear, where, since its commencement in 1816 to 1840, according to a statement by its surgeon, Mr Harrison Curtis, 12,000 cases have been cured or relieved. But for that complete deafness which is born with a human being and prevents the future acquirement of speech there is acknowledgedly no cure whatever upon the medical books. This is fully owned by one of the first writers and practitioners of the day on aural surgery, Dr. Wilhelm Kramer, of Berlin, who, in a work on the subject, says :—" There are convinc ing proofs of the entire failure of all remedial attempts hitherto made for the restoration of hearing in deaf-mutes. . . . The deaf-dumb, whether they be completely deaf, or merely dull of hearing, are incurable." The condemna tion thus pronounced will appear a very distressing one, when it is known that, in civilised communities, one person in about every 1,600 is a deaf-mute. In each of six Euro pean States—France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Russia, and Prussia—the proportion given by statistics is exactly one to every 1,585 of the population. The whole number in Great Britain alone is 12,394, and in France 20,189. The writer then proceeds to affirm that Dr. Turn bull certainly cures congenital and other cases of deafness, and mentions instances in point. We quote textually : During his recent brief residence in Edinburgh, Dr Turnball effected the entire cure of Miss Catherine Walker, of Kelso, a young lady known to various friends of our own as having been deaf and dumb during her whole life up to that period, and who had accordingly received her edacatioa in the institution for deaf-mutes in Edinburgh. 'We saw this young person, first a week, and next time about a month, after her cure, and found that she heard as well as any ordinary person. At the time when we saw her last, she was beginning to use her voice to some little purpose, insomuch that her friends forbade her to speak to them en her fingers, :alleging that they could understand what she said, Although Dr. Turnbull can restore hearing in such cases in about a quarter of an hour, the learning to speak distinctly afterwards is a long up-hill piece of work, and probably on that account it is that in his application to the Academy of Sciences he fixed a year as the period for a fair trial, wishing not only to present cases of restored hearing but of a certain facility in speaking. When the patient is young the diffinity seems to be less, as will be seen by the following extract from the work already quoted Dr Turnbull was in Glasgow at the beginning of the by past year, and in public administered to various deaf and dumb persons. Happening to be acquainted with a gentle man who had taken an interest in what was then done, we wrote to him making particular inquiry into the condition of two young persons whom we tinders' id to have received decided and permanent benefit. TLes,c, were deaf-mutes named Jane Wilkie and Margaret Muir, the one being about eight years of age, the other about nineteen. Our friend answered as follows :—" I called on both the girls to-day, and had the good luck to find Wilkie at home. Her mother states freely that she hears quite as well as the other children, and is at a school conducted by a female, who seems to be bringing her on very well, if I may judge from a specimen of her reading I witnessed to day. Her articulation was very perfect, con sidering the short time that she has been at school. They have no occasion now to speak loud to her, as she seems to understand quite well what is said when her back is turned. . . I found Muir's parent at home, but she herself was at work in a cotton mill. I put many questions to the parents, which they answered very satisfactorily. They stated that the surprising effects produced by Dr Turnbull had not altered in the least drgree, but on the contrary were rather increased. She hears whatever is said to her, though she may be in another room with the door shut,' These extracts, we conceive, will suffice' to show that much advantage is likely to accrue to mankind from the new treatment when made public, and it was doubtless the firm conviction of that result which induced the Academy of Sciences to accede so promptly to Dr Tarn bull's application.
